The list below is growing and is only a snapshot of the expertise that can be found when you look a little harder. We do not publish email addresses, only public profiles of women, we also do not provide introductions, this is a source of information only, for you to follow up with them directly. Use the search bar with a keyword below.
Please note: this is a volunteer run website, it will be updated as and when possible. It is a small project which we hope has some impact, but is being run by women who are very tired, so please be kind!
